From the Nomination: “Julianne Naff is the youngest female to head the TCV Trusts & Wealth Management Roanoke location, as well as the youngest SVP and Regional Manager in our company's 40 years. She effortlessly sets her coworkers, staff, clients and community up for success. The awards and accolades she has been awarded over her education and career, although numerous, do not do justice to characterize the positive force Naff is to her community and the people around her. …
Naff brings genuine passion to everything she does. As a coworker, I know how many plates she is juggling at any time. However, when you’re in her company, you have her undivided attention. She’s one of those people who remember what some may consider the small details, but she is just so caring and engaging – to her peers, children, work, clients and community — that her attention makes you feel like the most important person in the room. This comes naturally to her.
Naff's educational background in psychology and law, coupled with real-life experiences have all contributed to her being a better attorney and trust officer to her clients. She genuinely enjoys and in many peoples opinions, excels at helping people work through difficult experiences so that they can feel relief and peace of mind. Humble enough to know that you never stop learning, Naff strives to continue her education journey, currently in course towards a CFP designation through The University of Virginia. ...
Naff truly loves Roanoke. Some of her education was out of the area and she has worked in other cities and states, but has always been drawn back to Roanoke — her home. She takes great pride in how the Roanoke area has grown and is passionate to be a positive part in the area's continued upward trajectory.”
What do you love about Roanoke?

I love the culture, inclusivity and the way our community finds creative ways to highlight Roanoke’s positive attributes. I see our area as the optimal blend of city and country life where you can raise a family, build your career and unplug with the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains as your backdrop!”
How does your passion impact our community?
“While many of my efforts and involvement are through professional opportunities, I think it’s just as important to share my passion with my children so that they will adopt the same sentiment. For as long as I can remember, my family spent countless weekends enjoying Roanoke and community events. I love creating memories with my family at our local museums, festivals, restaurants and parks (the list goes on!). More importantly, I want to show them how their efforts to support our community and its residents can have a lasting impact. Building passion in the next generation is critical for a community to see continued success and growth.”
